Practice Remembering You

Chapter 97 Investigation

The scene was so beautiful that both of them were at a loss for words. All they could do now was appreciate it.

The setting sun was like a shy girl. It seemed that it had discovered that Zhang Yu and his wife were looking at her, so it timidly hid down the mountain until it completely disappeared.

There are two kinds of darkness in the world. One is the darkness before dawn, and the other is the moment when the sun sets completely.

As the last ray of sunlight was blocked by the distant mountains, darkness instantly filled the world.

The sudden darkness made Mo Xue subconsciously squeeze towards Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu hugged Mo Xue tightly and said softly, "Don't be afraid, your husband is behind you."

As the words fell, stars appeared, and a magnificent Milky Way stretched across the sky. Zhang Yu was holding her, and the starry sky was Zhang Yu's background. All of this was reflected in Mo Xue's eyes, making her shocked body a little numb.

Although I have seen the stars in the sky countless times from the ground, the feeling this time is a little different from before.

The two kissed passionately on the top of the mountain.

After a while, the two stood up, Zhang Yu held Mo Xue and flew down from the mountain, the bright moonlight sprinkled all over the earth. Looking down from this height, it seemed as if the trees and vegetation below had turned silvery white.

Seeing Zhang Yu and Mo Xue flying down from the sky, Gan Guan and the other two hurried out to greet them. The three of them had been waiting for a long time, and after an afternoon of rest, their strength had almost recovered.

Except for Zhang Yu, everyone was very hungry now. Officer Gan hurriedly led the way: "Master Ye has already set up the banquet. Please follow me."

When we arrived, we found that a grand banquet had indeed been set up. There was a lot of delicious food and wine on the table, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into its preparation.

But what was strange was that Ye Fangcheng was not in this room.

When the official Gan who brought Zhang Yu and the others here saw that County Magistrate Ye was not there, he was so frightened that his head exploded! He couldn't help sweating and thought, why is the county magistrate not here at this time? ! Could it be that he remembered the time wrong? It's impossible. If he remembered the time wrong, the food couldn't be served now.

Just when Zhang Yu was about to ask where Ye Fangcheng was, the sound of hurried running was suddenly heard outside.

Then the door opened and it was Ye Fangcheng.

At this time, he was breathing rapidly, his official uniform was a little messy, and his hat was a little tilted, obviously he had run here in a hurry.

"Sorry, sorry!" Ye Fangcheng started to apologize as soon as he entered the room: "I was delayed for a while due to something. I deserve to make Lord Zhang wait for so long."

As he was about to hit himself, Zhang Yu was quick to grab the other person and said, "Brother Ye, what are you doing? We just got here. Do you think I'm a violent person?"

"Thank you, Lord Zhang, for your understanding. I am deeply grateful." Ye Fangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Zhang Yu looked Ye Fangcheng up and down carefully and found that his current condition was obviously different. His breath was a little disordered, especially when his breathing reached his chest, as if it was blocked.

The joints of my left hand are reluctant to straighten naturally, as if they were forced back together after being injured, and are currently in the process of recovery.

This official uniform is not the same one I saw this morning. It looks very new, and has a faint smell of freshly washed clothes. It must have been changed not long ago.

"Brother Ye, you are injured. How did it happen?" Zhang Yu asked directly, and put one hand on Ye Fangcheng's shoulder, injecting his true energy into him to heal his wounds.

The true Qi entered his body and healed him. Ye Fangcheng felt very comfortable all over. The injured part immediately stopped hurting, started to itch, and finally recovered.

Ye Fangcheng looked a little embarrassed at this time, and finally sighed: "Alas... I didn't want you, Master Zhang, to know these things. But now I can't hide it anymore.

It's like this, there have been many murders in our county recently, but the murderer has never been found. We learned that you were coming during this period, but we didn't know exactly when you would arrive.

So we have to deal with this case quickly. I don’t want you to see this state of our county.

In fact, on the day you came, our detective found some clues and led people to ambush. We thought everything was over that day.

But the result was that although we surrounded and intercepted the murderer that day, our detectives were not strong enough. After fighting with them, not only did they fail to catch him, they also injured several of them!

When the messenger ran to where we were having dinner and told me the news, I felt terrible.

So I changed my plan for today. Originally, I wanted to be your guide personally, but now I have to catch the murderer myself.

I waited for a whole day and finally encountered him, but before I could even fight him, he left. It was such a shameful ending."

Zhang Yu and Zhang Wu both frowned.

Zhang Wu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye, you are already a first-rate expert, but you were defeated? What level of expert must the opponent be? Could he be an immortal?"

"The other party is definitely not an immortal. He does not have the pressure that only immortals have." Ye Fangcheng denied: "It was a man in white clothes, probably only about 25 or 26 years old. His clothes were very white, and there were auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on them."

Zhang Yu said in a deep voice: "If it was a mortal, he could easily injure the top-notch expert who ambushed him and leave without any hesitation. This strength must be the pinnacle of mortals, a peerless expert."

"I thought so too." Ye Fangcheng nodded.

"But there are two problems with this." Zhang Yu frowned, "First, what is the identity of a peerless master? How could he do such a thing?

Second, if he was not an immortal, he would not have the qualifications of an immortal, which means that even if he practiced martial arts, he would not be able to become a master too quickly.

Therefore, how could a mortal master be only 25 or 26 years old? He should be at least 41 or 42 years old. "

"But I think that man is only that old, and he doesn't have the aura of an immortal, so he can't be an immortal." Ye Fangcheng was at a loss.

"Did the person who was killed have any enemies with anyone before his death?" Mo Xue asked.

Ye Fangcheng shook his head: "Not at all. I have thoroughly investigated the identity of the deceased, and I have not found out who he had a grudge against. Not to mention him, I even checked whether his family had offended anyone recently. He is really an innocent person."

Zhang Yu stroked his chin and thought. After observing Ye Fangcheng for a long time, he was sure that he was not lying. He said that the attacker was not a cultivator and did not have the unique aura and pressure of cultivators. So it was most likely that this person was not a cultivator.

After all, if a cultivator wants to completely suppress his true energy, he must at least be a cultivator at the level of magic like himself.

But for a cultivator at his current level, if he really wanted to kill a mortal, why would it be so complicated?

But if one's cultivation level is not high, one will not be able to completely suppress the fluctuations of one's true qi.

Could it really be a mortal master? But this is too bizarre, a master killing an ordinary person?

"There's something fishy going on here. It's not a simple matter." Zhang Yu said calmly, "Well, let's eat first. After dinner, take me to the crime scene and I'll take a look."

Ye Fangcheng nodded quickly: "Okay! Everyone, please sit down quickly. Look how rude I am. I made you stand for such a long time."

(When Ye Fangcheng chose to speak out about this matter, he had already conveyed his desire to seek help from Zhang Yu. Now, hearing Zhang Yu's promise, he was very happy.)

After dinner, Zhang Yu condensed two mixed-source earth soldiers and deployed them beside Mo Xue to protect her safety at all times.

Then I went to the scene with Ye Fangcheng.

Third Uncle originally wanted to go, but Zhang Yu thought that the other party could easily injure even a first-rate master like Ye Fangcheng, so it would be safer for a second-rate master like Third Uncle to stay here.

When we arrived at the scene, we found it was an ordinary residential house.

At this time, the courtyard wall had collapsed, the house was in a mess, the door had been blown far away, the scene was covered with blood, and the people had already died, and were now covered with white cloth.

When the people around saw the important person coming, they quickly stepped aside and knelt down.

As soon as Zhang Yu arrived in the yard, his eyes immediately pricked up. There was a lingering evil spirit in the yard!

Ye Fangcheng looked at this place with some sadness: "Master Zhang, I caught the murderer here today, and we fought here, but it's a pity that I couldn't stop him from killing people."

"It's normal that you failed to stop it." Zhang Yu said solemnly: "Because the person you fought with was not a human at all!"
